GET AQUACHAIN

The aquachain command (full node, RPC server, and wallet) is a portable program that doesn't really need an 'installer', you can run it from anywhere. When you first start aquachain you will connect to the peer-to-peer network and start downloading the chain. To change the way aquachain runs, for example testnet, or rpc, use command line flags. The location of your keys can be printed with:

`aquachain account list`

You should keep backups your keystore files, and regularly check unlocking them. If not using keys, for example an RPC server, use the -nokeys flag.

List all command line flags using the -h flag, or aquachain help [subcommand]

COMPILING

If you are reading this from the source tree, you can simply use make.

On windows, double-click make.bat to compile aquachain.exe onto your Desktop.

** Patches can be submitted at Github or Gitlab or Mailing List **

To build latest with go, simply use 'go get' and look in $GOPATH/bin:

CGO_ENABLED=0 go get -v -u gitlab.com/aquachain/aquachain/cmd/aquachain

or all tools:

GOBIN=$PWD CGO_ENABLED=0 go get -v gitlab.com/aquachain/aquachain/cmd/...

SYNCHRONIZING

"Imported new chain segment" means you received new blocks from the network. When a single block is imported, the address of the successful miner is printed. When you start seeing one every 4 minutes or so, you are fully synchronized.

USAGE

Create account from the command line: aquachain.exe account new

List accounts from the command line: aquachain.exe account list

Enter AQUA console: aquachain.exe

Start Daemon (geth default): aquachain.exe daemon

See more commands: Wiki

Type help at the AQUA> prompt for common AQUA console commands.

Run aquachain.exe help for command line flags and options.

RPC SERVER

See "RPC" section in ./Documentation folder and online at: https://gitlab.com/aquachain/aquachain/wikis/RPC

Start HTTP JSON/RPC server for local (127.0.0.1) connections only:

aquachain -rpc

Start HTTP JSON/RPC server for remote connections, listening on 192.168.1.5:8543, able to be accessed only by 192.168.1.6:

aquachain -rpc -rpchost 192.168.1.5 -allowip 192.168.1.6/32

With no other RPC flags, the -rpc flag alone is safe for local usage (from the same machine).

Security Note about RPC: Please be aware that hosting a public RPC server (0.0.0.0) will allow strangers access to your system. Do not use the -rpcaddr flag unless you absolutely know what you are doing. Consider using a random RPC port, instead of the default 8543.

For hosting public RPC servers, please consider using -nokeys (new!) and implementing rate limiting on http (and, if using, websockets) , either via reverse proxy such as caddyserver or nginx, or firewall.

Recent builds of aquachain include support for the -allowip flag. It is by default, set to 127.0.0.1, which doesn't allow any LAN or WAN addresses access to your RPC methods.

To add IPs, use aquachain -rpc -rpchost 192.168.1.4 -allowip 192.168.1.5/32,192.168.2.30/32

The CIDR networks are comma separated, no spaces. (the /32 after an IP means 'one IP')

RPC Clients

The JSON/RPC server is able to be used with "Web3" libraries for languages such as Python or Javascript.

For compatibility with existing tools, all calls to eth_ methods are translated to aqua_, behind-the-scenes.

Go packages for creating applications that use Aquachain can be found in this repository, under the opt/aquaclient and rpc/rpcclient namespaces. See each package's documentation (godoc) for more information on usage.

Contributing

Aquachain is free open source software and your contributions are welcome.

Some tips and tricks for hacking on Aquachain core:

• Always gofmt -w -l -s before commiting. If you forget, adding a simple 'gofmt -w -l -s' commit works.
• Before making a merge request, try make test to run all tests. If any tests pass, the PR can not be merged into the master branch.
• Rebase: Don't git pull to update your branch. instead, from your branch, type git rebase -i master and resolve any conflicts (do this often and there wont be any!)
• Prefix commit message with package name, such as "core: fix blockchain"
